Eh. That was a bit of a hyperbole/satire of a statement and I may have been on a bit of a rant in regard to the general republican/conservative/tea party platform of always fighting for the corperations.
I've heard a lot of things off and on about what they're for or against and it only seems to get crazier with time, ever since a democrat was elected into office and all but completely replaced in the senate and house. Yet, what they seem to stand for gets crazier and crazier with each passing day. And they're honestly running on some vehemontly pro-business stances that is generally against the good of the nation.
For example, the votes of 30 republicans on the Al Franken bill to protect victims of rape, assault, or other crime from the company they work for. The bill punishes companies that don't allow the victims of these crimes to take the company to court.
The bill was in respose to Haliberton stifling a victim when she cried 'foul' after being gang-raped by employees. 30 republicans stood up and tried their darndest to protect haliburton.

By the by, send your best regards to the following senators:
Alexander (R-TN) Barrasso (R-WY) Bond (R-MO) Brownback (R-KS) Bunning (R-KY) Burr (R-NC) Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Cochran (R-MS) Corker (R-TN) Cornyn (R-TX) Crapo (R-ID) DeMint (R-SC) Ensign (R-NV) Enzi (R-WY) Graham (R-SC) Gregg (R-NH) Inhofe (R-OK) Isakson (R-GA) Johanns (R-NE) Kyl (R-AZ) McCain (R-AZ) McConnell (R-KY) Risch (R-ID) Roberts (R-KS) Sessions (R-AL) Shelby (R-AL) Thune (R-SD) Vitter (R-LA) Wicker (R-MS)
I'm just happy that one of them wasn't from indiana, otherwise, I'd be posting this from jail after personally punching him in the face.
Other fun things, I've been hearing that if they control the senate and/or house this november, not only will they continue their blanket opposition to everything, but they're going to attempt to repeal the wall street reform and healthcare reform bills ASAP.
That's because these things are apparently 'bailouts.' I think they're operating under the assumption that if you use the term 'bailout' - you'll hate whatever they hate.

Also, don't forget Rep. Barton's apology to BP for all the mean things the white house said and wants to do about them. They also don't seem to like the idea of wall street reform despite the fact they caused this mess because they severely de-regulated the industry in the Bush-era. It's a real face-palming sort of madness they've created.
Depending on where you look, it only gets crazier from there.
